It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

    ISPs just don’t want to be made to police copyright offenses for free. if the RIAA/MPAA paid them money to aid in enforcement, you can bet they be doing it in a heartbeat.

        I hope you’re right, and that people scrolling social media aren’t the biggest source of income to ISP’s.

        i truly hope you’re right. enforcing copyright offenses for downloaders is an absolute waste of everyone’s resources regardless of who pays. piracy is a market force, and the corpos need to just acknowledge that.
